On the subject of driving in the US.
1. Speed signs are treated as advisary. Even with limits set at 80mph, most drivers will travel at 90 or more.
2.The use of indicators when turning, changing lines or leaving a freeway for an off ramp is used vey sparingly.
3. Four way Stop signs, while seemingly impossible to negotiate at first, worked extremely well. The first driver to arrive and stops goes first, with all other divers taking their turn. Every one accepts it, and it flows.
4. The price of fuel varies enormously from State to state due to State taxes, with California being the most expensive at 6$ plus, with Utah being the cheapest at 3.11.
5. Outside of the major cities, Electric Vehicles are very much in the minority. Biiiig Trucks and SUV’s reign supreme.
6, Driving on the other side of the road is not a big deal.
